Local History Presentation this Friday & Saturday with the Shafer Museum!
Join your friends, neighbors and fellow history lovers this coming weekend for a video presentation that shares the history of Mazama, its early arrivals, and the community. Through engaging and fun stories you'll learn:
-How Mazama got its name
-What attracted settlers to the area
-How mining impacted the area
-Who the characters were
-And much more!
Twenty-nine settlers and seven mining people created this history, and some of their descendants still live in the Methow Valley today. Along with the video presentation, we'll have a book with even more Mazama history available for sale, maps and photo displays and time for questions. We hope you can join us! Free admission, donations welcome and appreciated.

Saturday 7/25 The Winthrop Barn 1:00pm-2:30/3 (air conditioned! clean air!)
Free, but your contributions make this work and historic preservation possible in the Methow Valley. Please make a donation at the door.
Available for purchase: A book with more stories than you'll have time to hear about tonight! $20+tax, cash/credit/check
